MySpace Instant Messenger

Filed in: Downloads, Technology — May 12th, 2006

MySpace, the most popular social networking website has launched its own instant messenger — MySpaceIM.

MySpaceIM

MySpaceIM features

It is for MySpace members only.

  • Instant messaging with your MySpace friends
  • One-click login to MySpace mail, bulletins, and more
  • Instant alerts for all MySpace requests, messages, and comments
  • Find and view your MySpace friends’ profiles

My two cents

MySpaceIM’s simple user interface looks like Google Talk. Not sure that MySpaceIM is using standard or its own developed IM protocol. We have too many instant messengers, it is about time to merge them all together.

    Yeah it would be nice if they made a client from both linux and mac since i use
    both. However I would just be satisfied if I could use an independent client like
    Pidgin (formally known as Gaim) to hook up to myspace. As far as I know there isn’t
    anyway to do this, however if somebody out there does know please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    I agree! They NEED to make a Myspace IM for Macintosh! I’m so tired of seeing “Windows” this and “Windows” that! Microsoft can go f*** it’s self, and take their crappy software with them! It’s all about Macintosh baby! If anyone knows WHEN or IF they’re developing a Macintosh version, let me know. I’m about to write Tom right now! LOL. Thanks everyone!

    It seems that both myspace & yahoo don’t care about mac! I don’t even think Tom is a friend on Steve Jobs myspace page!

    I agree as well, especially with the “microsoft can go f*** itself” statement…I too am sick of everything being for windows and windows only…not everyone uses f***ing windows…

    I think yahoo has a Linux version.
    If there’s a good (open-source) alternative for all the big IMs in one, we wouldn’t have to worry about all the incompatibilities as much. Then, if Micro$haft tries to do a windows-only IM, we’ve got something better. (take that!)

    Dunno why people are getting so hung up about this, its like…so what? If Myspace don’t want to release a Mac version thats fine by me, and im a Mac and Myspace user. To be honest, I don’t want their nasty looking buggy software on my Mac anyway.

    There is in fact a plugin for pidgin under development: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/MySpaceIM

    So, once that plugin is stable, I would assume it will be integrated into AdiumX, which as most people will know is a port of pidgin.

    Patience is a virtue!
